Angry Obama: "Appease" Is A Total Sleaze
New York Post ^ | May 17, 2008 | By Charles Hurt

Posted on 05/17/2008 6:23:48 AM PDT by Fennie

WASHINGTON - Barack Obama fired back at President Bush yesterday, accusing him of an "appalling attack" for suggesting that the Democratic presidential hopeful wanted to appease America's enemies.

"Now, that's exactly the kind of appalling attack that's divided our country and that alienates us from the world," Obama said.

"And that's why we need change in Washington. That's part of the reason why I'm running for president of the United States of America."

Speaking before the Israeli Knesset earlier this week, Bush laced into those who believe that the United States should negotiate with leaders of terrorist states.

Last summer, Obama said emphatically during one of the Democratic debates he would gladly meet with the leaders of Iran and Syria and other sworn enemies of America "without preconditions...

Pelosi, Reid, et al. condemned Bush for attacking "an American citizen" abroad--citing the long established convention that an American President not be criticized abroad--nevermind that Jimmy Carter travels the globe criticizing a President in office--nevermind that Nancy Pelosi went to Syria--nevermind a host of violations of this convention.

Exactly. This blows my mind. Why Republicans don't take the opportunity more often to pound the dems on this is also confusing. What's more, Bush didn't name anybody, American citizen or otherwise, yet the left goes full blast into accusations.

Republicans/McCain/conservative groups should use the first part of that quote in ads from now until the election.

The truth hurts: EVERY security policy Obama has proposed—from gutting the Patriot Act, to ending close scrutiny of young male Muslim visa applicants,to surrendering to AlQuaeda in Iraq—is designed to appease the terrorists while making life easier for them.

Two of the main issues that need to be discussed in this election year are 1.) the color of Obama’s skin and 2.) his belief in Black Liberation Theology. If anyone needs to see what can happen when a country is given to blacks to run, just look at the ‘liberated’ countries of Africa. Just check out the slide into murder, mayhem, and starvation that resulted after the colonized African countries were restored to blacks.

Angry Obama: Nobody Likes Me
Everybody Hates Me, Guess I'll Go Eat Worms
Nobody likes me, everybody hates me,
Guess I'll go eat worms,
Long, thin, slimy ones; Short, fat, juicy ones,
Itsy, bitsy, fuzzy wuzzy worms.

Down goes the first one, down goes the second one,
Oh how they wiggle and squirm.
Up comes the first one, up comes the second one,
Oh how they wiggle and squirm.

(The guy is a real TOWER of strength)

It is an election season and so much is happening that much is forgotten, and it seems this little tid-bit has fallen down the memory hole. Not even Obama seems to remember....... :-)

Tough talk on Pakistan by Obama

Pakistan: Obama remark 'irresponsible'

Obama revisits Pakistan statement

In the end it was the President who got the last word: Bush: Obama Would "Attack Pakistan And Embrace Ahmadinejad"

"I certainly don't know what he believes in," Bush said when asked if there had been a "rush to judgment" about Obama. "The only foreign policy thing I remember he said was he's going to attack Pakistan and embrace Ahmadinejad."

So, let us put it in a historical perspective. If the President had said something along the lines "some people advocate a policy akin to Chamberlain going to Munich in 1938 to appease Hitler and at the same time threatening to invade Belgium...." then he definitely would have been thinking about BH Obama.

Not only does he have a thin skin, he has NO BALLS. Just start pushing harder on him, turn up the heat some more. Let’s see how long he stays in the kitchen.

"If anyone, top Bush adviser Ed Gillespie said yesterday, Bush figured people might assume he was talking about former President Jimmy Carter, who met last month with the leaders of Hamas."

"Even I knew he meant me."

He may have no balls and a thin skin but note that he has so far survived all the scandals and all his gaffes. He needs to be taken seriously because it would be a serious threat to the security of the USA and the rest of the western world if Obama were to win the election.

Exactly! The daily casualty rate in our cities run by black mayors is way worse than the war in Iraq.

"Now, that's exactly the kind of appalling attack that's divided our country and that alienates us from the world," Obama said.
Oh, we're alienated from the world? Gosh, that's much more important than liberty and security.

It's Obama's type of trash talk that sows the seeds of division, not just within the United States, but also with our allies. We have enemies, and will until they choose to stop being our enemies. Negotiation doesn't work with ideological enemies.
